hey all, I have a 2013 civic that has just under 14,000 miles. I bought it brand new.

I've been getting vibration in my steering wheel and seats and a little in the gas pedal. I wouldn't say the car is shaking but it's a relatively rough/bumpy ride. At times I can feel the tires grinding against the road under my feet (regardless of road condition but much worst on bad roads obviously) and road noise is LOUD but that's probably due to the terrible stock hankook tires they put on it. It gets much more noticeable at higher speeds but I get some vibration even at 15 mph driving around a neighborhood.

It's been happening for about 3 weeks. During this time I had service + tire rotation AND tire balance. Didn't help at all. Honda did their multi point inspection too which includes shocks, struts, brakes etc. and I didn't get any warnings on those.

My tire tread is 8 for the front two tires and about 7 for the rear tires. I don't believe they are worn unevenly. The tire pressure is set at 33 for all four.

Does anyone know what else could cause vibration / rough driving?

everything on the car is stock.

 

Have you noticed? Is this happening when driving fast or slow speed? I read the same problem reported by other 2013 Civic drivers in other forums. You should probably discuss this with your service provider, may be at the dealership.

 

it's worst at highway speeds but honestly i can feel it vibrating slightly (enough to bother me and i'm not that sensitive when it comes to cars) the second i pull out of the garage. it started like 3 weeks ago and i just don't know what else could be causing this issue on a new car after rotation and balance and on tires that only have 14k.

 

Check the tire pressures. If you feel a "once around" wobble driving slowly on a flat surface, one or more of the tires is not round. Traditionally the tires that come with a new car are not very good.

 

I can vouch for mk378's statement. The Continentals that came on my Civic felt like the car was rolling on a of dice lol. I put a set of Falkens on it and problem solved.

 

Could be a motor mount. Especially the passenger side mount under the dog bone. These are a horrible design and expensive.
